Production Notes

Dan Blocker is still sporting the injury (a fractured collar bone and a sustained shoulder separation) he got in an on-set accident during filming in February 1962. Roberts’ horse stumbled, throwing him over the horse’s head. Blocker’s was coming in too close and collided with the other horse. Whilst Roberts was able to report to work within a week, Blocker was forced to remain at home for four weeks.
